Treatment and Staff

The intake process at Louise Landau Health Center begins with a phone call followed by an in-person meeting with a counselor to help determine the client’s potential level of care. If the individual is deemed a good fit for Louise Landau Health Center, the counselor helps determine a treatment plan. The organization operates on a sliding fee scale to accommodate people of all economic backgrounds. Clients who are unstable or going through withdrawal are referred to outside residential or detox facilities.

The outpatient program at Louise Landau Health Center consists of both group and individual therapy. The length and intensity of the program is based on the needs of the individual, and clients are allowed to step down at their own pace. Participants generally attend one to three group meetings per week, each lasting about two hours. The groups are small, with usually about five people per group. The counselors use a variety of treatment techniques in the group meetings including CBT, Motivational Interviewing (MI), sharing, education and relapse prevention. Individual meetings are scheduled based on the needs of the client. Counselors also recommend some individuals attend local AA/NA meetings.

Louise Landau Health Center provides dual diagnosis support and clients with co-occurring disorders are referred to on-site psychologists and mental health counselors. The staff consists of a mixture of CADCs and LCSWs.
